Weather: Clear H:-12° L:-22°

I wish i could forget wat day it is today (SIN TIME)...but its hard...coz after a skype session with my beloved Zui yesterday...the negative feeling came back...not dat i dun enjoy seeing her...in fact becoz i enjoy very much skyping with Zui...and seeing Mum n Dad after so so so long...i really do miss them so so so much...I hope my family wont blame me for not wanting to skype with them on CNY day (like last year)...as much as i miss them...seeing them on skype jus doesn't satisfy me...it only makes me miss them more...then i will jus go to bed in tears again...

No matter wat...i know i'm definitely not forgotten there...how we usually spend 1st few days of CNY keep playing in my head...even thou year after year the routine is quite similar...except more angbaos when we were younger...we still very much enjoy the atmosphere and each other's company...it is like a big family gathering...enjoying granny's delicious food...the CNY goodies...Kuku's 'nian gao'...family-style gambling at the table...n the sound of mahjong jus livens everything up...i wish this family tradition will jus go on and on and on...until Darius' generation and beyond...i wish Darius could enjoy his childhood during CNY like mine...with many cousins to play with...and so many angbaos to collect...

Like any other day for me...its almost time for bed now...wishing my family and friends...

恭喜发财,利是拿来...谢谢 :)

Wonderful Wonderful 2008...

2008 has been the most incredible year of my life...it is the year i have the most achievements so far...it is also the biggest turning point of my life...watching my baby taking steps into independence and developing his own individuality...makes me excited wat to expect next...

I could say i have quite a wonderful year...my toddler is active and healthy...i have a bunch of fun loving mummy-friends for support...i gain knowledge in terms of child care...and most importantly...i can cook! but dun expect too much from dat statement...coz i dun even know how to wash rice b4 i came here...so comparing to the standard i had b4...i'm quite proud of myself for preparing 3 meals for my baby...

though i have been in Calgary for over 18 months...i still have not come to the reality of being away from my family in Singapore...becoz i'm still feeling very homesick...especially when CNY is only a few weeks from now...how i wish to sleep past dat day...so i could lessen the pain of not having the joy of CNY...

i'm still having faith and trust in the LORD that i will definitely make it back for CNY in 2010...by then when i can be back...i wish i could have a grand arrival...becoz i left as me...bt i rtn as a mummy...

i wish everyone a Happy New Year and an exciting 2009 ahead !!! GOD Bless !!!

Nov Gathering cum Nov Babies Birthday Party

For the theme of our Nov gathering, we decided to have a mini celebration for the Nov/Dec babies in the group. So we booked the VIP room and had yum cha @ Singapore Sam's Restaurant on Nov 1st 2008. The food is pretty nice there...hope to bring hubby there someday...Most of the Babies are still crawling except Sianne and Darius...Darius was still not steady yet but Sianne was trotting around with ease...smart gurl !
